Well, changing KDEHOME in the startup scripts is what I am doing now, but=
 this=20
is something, that of course is quite complicated to a standard user. He/=
she=20
needs a GUI for this and I also would prefer it since it is more comforta=
ble.

Another drawback of setting KDEHOME is, that you duplicate ALL settings. =
E.g.=20
I wouldn't like to have 2 copies of kmailrc, since I have a rather comple=
x=20
setting for my filters, but I would like to seperate a lot of other setti=
ngs.=20
Well, I could make a link - but then I would spend a lot of time tweaking=
=20
everything - why not having a GUI for setting the profile?=20

In .kde you could do it by having a default .kde/share dir and additional=
=20
share dirs called something like .kde/share_profilename. So if the user=20
chooses the profile named <profilename> the settings override the setting=
s in=20
=2Ekde/share. This is basically an extension to the already existing hier=
archy=20
of settings in /opt/kde3 and $HOME/.kde3/share
You also would need a dialog window start asks the user at startup which=20
profile to use (default or <profilename>).
